wanting from Arkansas and Nevada, and only the
majority iB known in Oregon. If the Republicans

votes are thrown out in Louisiana, the nominal ma
jority is so much the greater. In England the Lib

One of the first lessons taught a merchant's clerk
is the importance of punctuality, and if he be an
apt scholar, much has been done by this teaching
to effect for him a successful business career ; but
while our boys are thus taught, the girls are iu this
respect frequently neglected.
We are pleased to know that the proprietors of
the New York Evening Post are meeting this heed
somewhat by presenting a bronze clock to the sut>-
scribers ot the weekly and semi-weekiy editions, so
that the household, as well as the counting-room, may
learn method and punctuality. See advertisement

THE
UNION PACIFIC
RAILROAD COMPANY
OFFER A LIMITED AMOUNT OF THEIR
First Mortgage Bonds
AT PAR.
BINE HUHDEED AND SIXTY MILES
Of the line West from Omaha are now completed, and the work iv
goirgon through the Winter. As the distance between the fin
ished portion of the Union and Contra! Pacific Railroads Is now
less than 400 miles, and both companies are poshing forward th»
work with great energy, employing over 30,000 men, there can bo
no doubt that the whole
Grand Line to the Pacific
Will be open for Business in the Summer of
The regular Government Commissioners have pronounced the
Uniun Pacific Railroad to be FIRST CLASS in every respect, and
the Special Commission appointed by ihe President says:
“Taken as a wholh, THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD HAS
BEEN WELL CONSTRUCTED, AND THE GENERAL ROUTE
FOR THE LINE EXCEEDINGLY WELL SELECTED. The ener
gy aud perseverance with which the work has been urged forward
and the rapidity with which it has been executed, are without
parallel in history, and in grandeur and magnitbde of underta
king it has never been equalled.” The Report states that any de
ficiencies are only those incident to all new'roads, and that could
not have been avoided without materially retarding the progress
of the great work. Such deficiencies are supplied by railroad
companies after the completion of the line, when and wherever
experience shows them to be necessary. The report concludes by
saying that u the country, lias reason to congratulate itself that
this great work of national importance is so rapidly approaching
completion, nnder such favorable auspices.” The Company now
have in use 137 locomotives and nearly 2,000 cars of all idescrip
tions. A large additional equipment is ordered to be ready in the
Spring. The grading is nearly completed and ties distributed for
120 miles in advance of the western end of the track. Fully 120
miles of Iron for new track are now delivered west of the Misiouri
river, and 90 mil- s more are en route. The total expenditures for
construction purposes in advance of the completed portion of the
road is not lesß than eight million dollars.
Besides a donation from the Government of 12,800 acres of land
per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in U. 8, Bonds on its
1 ne sb completed and accepted, at the average rate of about
$29,000 per mile,accordingtotheditßcuUfes encountered, for which
the Government take a second lien as security. ‘ The Company
have already received.s22,l6B, ooo of this subsidy, of which $l,-
250,000 was paid Dec. 6th, and $640,000 Dec. 14th.
Government Aid—Security of the
BONDS.
By its charier the Company is.permitted to issue its own First
Mortgage Bonds to the. some amount aa the Government Bonds,
and no more. These Bonds are a First: Mortgage upon the whole
road and all its equipments. Suchamotgage upon what, for a long
time, will be the only railroad connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
States, takeß highest rank as security. The earnings from tb jway or
local business for the year ending June 30,1363, en an average of 472
miles, were over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS, which, after paying
all expenses, were much more than sufficient to cover all interest
liability upon that distance, and* the earnings for the last five
. months have been $2,336,870. They would have been greater if
the toad-had not been taxed to its utmost capacity to transport Its
ownmatersAlo for construction. Thd incoaie from the great pas
senger travel, the China freights, and.the supplies for the new
Rocky Mountain States and Territories must bo ample for all In
terest and oth«r liabilities. No political. action can reduce the
rate of Interest. must remain for thirty years —six per cent per
axnum ingold, now equal to between eight and nine per cent in
currency. The priivcipal is payable in goid. ;If a bond with
such guarantees were issued by the Government, its market price
would.not betas than fi om 20 to 25 per cent, premium. As these
bonds are issued under Government authority and supervision,
upon what m very largely a Government.work, they mustultimate
ly.WPfeoeb Government prices. No oilier corporate bonds are
made so secure.
,The price for, the present is PAR, and accrued interest at 6 per
cent from July 1,1565, in currency.
